In the men's 100-meter race on land in Tottori City, Ryuichiro Sakai marked his personal best of 10 seconds 02, which is the 7th place in Japan's history, and was nominated as the representative of the world championship.
The competition "Fuse Sprint" centered on short-distance events on land was held in Tottori City on the 26th, and the men's 100-meter qualifying was held in the morning.
Of these, 24-year-old Sakai, who finished second in the Japan Championships held this month, participated in the five qualifying groups.
Sakai set a good record of 10 seconds 02, setting a personal best of 0 seconds 08, smashing his Bruno player on the day of the Tokyo Olympics, who ran the same group under favorable conditions with a tailwind of 1.1 meters.
The Japanese record for the men's 100 meters was 9 seconds 95, which was marked by Ryota Yamagata at the same tournament last year, and this time 10 seconds 02 is a record alongside Nobuharu Asahara, which is a good time to be the 7th place in Japan's history.
Sakai met the condition that he would be within 3rd place in the Japan Championship and cut the standard record of 10 seconds 05 for participation in the World Championship, so Sani Brown, who won the Japan Championship in this event, followed Abdul Hakim. I have been appointed as the representative of the World Championships to be held next month.
The men's 100-meter final of the "Fuse Sprint" was held in the afternoon, but Sakai was absent.
